A gentleman who works in my building but not in my department came by asking if I had a USB cable. He was trying to connect his Sony 303 reader to his computer for some various reason. Since I normally keep a USB cable connected to my machine for my Pocket Pro, Blackberry, GPS or any other gadget that uses one, I let him borrow mine. I also told him that when he got back I would show him my reader. When he got back I showed him the Pocket Pro. He seemed surprise by how light it was once he had it in his hands. But after I told him that my reader came with the case, tool, option to change my own battery, USB cable, wall plug, headphones, and that my reader supports 20 formats, plays MP3s, reads audio books and translates text to speech he was most impressed. Thanks Astak. You made me look good! I got the better product for a cheaper price!
